At Our Age

James A Simpson

Well-known as the bestselling author of books such as Holy Wit and A Funny Way of Being Serious, James A. Simpson has turned his attention to the joys and little drawbacks of the process of ageing.

Published in September last year, At Our Age is a classic Simpson collection of insights and gentle humour.

'A treasure, full of funny and wise things.'
-- Ron Ferguson, Press and Journal

'The serious messages of age are interspersed with Dr Simpson's collection of witty stories, which can inspire a cheery moment, even on the darkest days and would make an ideal gift for either young or old.'
-- Life and Work

Last November we brought out a paperback edition of Crème de la Crème, Alasdair Roberts' popular book about Edinburgh's girls' schools.

As well as Crème de la Crème, Alasdair Roberts has written a companion volume about the city's boys' schools. Ties that Bind: Boys' Schools of Edinburgh was published towards the end of 2009.

'These fascinating volumes ... are descriptive histories, full of colour and incident ... colourful details which cover not only educational principles and ethos, pedagogy and discipline, uniforms, sports, pastimes and inter-school rivalries, but also riots, murder and even accidental death in pioneering science labs, along with a portrait of the original St Trinnean's.'
-- Raymond Ross, Times Educational Supplement Scotland
